Positive Reviews
positive:
Excellent location near attractions
Guests are more than satisfied with the location of the Bird, describing how it's within easy reach of dining spots, entertainment venues and sightseeing opportunities. Also, if you want to do a spot of shopping, big brands such as Apple and Nike are nearby.
positive:
Clean and well-equipped rooms
This hotel is relatively new and the rooms are in great shape. Guests describe the rooms as spotlessly clean and equipped with a good selection of amenities. Perhaps the only negative point raised is that a few guests found the beds were a little on the narrow side.
positive:
Reasonable rates
Guests mention that they found the rates at the Bird were very reasonable, especially considering the overall standard of the rooms and the convenient location. There are extras such as parking to take into account but, overall, guests tend to feel they have enjoyed good value for money here.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Noise might be a problem
A number of reviews suggest that the hotel is quite noisy. Guests mention that they were able to hear other guests in the hallways and doors closing. Also, the windows are single-paned, so offer little protection against noise from the road.
negative:
Service attracts mixed feedback
While it's fair to say that many guests found the standard of service here impressive, some found the staff a little indifferent and seemingly unwilling to offer all that much help. A few guests also mention that they came across staff members sleeping on the floor behind the front desk.
negative:
Parking might seem pricey
If you are bringing a car to the hotel, you should be aware that several guests mention that they found the parking convenient but a little pricey.
